Is it not funny?
Doesn’t it sound odd?
That the living should mourn the dead
And take pity on them
For a good life cut short?
When our heroes lay down their weapons
And take a bow from worries
Reflections on happy past
Celebration of their legacy
Are true memorials they deserve
Tears or sorrowing is a disservice
When a well spent life
Is yielded back to the lender
Mourning is ingratitude
When a tortuous man in life
Is kindly relieved of his life
Why should the living mourn the dead?
When the dead are thankful of eternal rest
Let the living brood over their worries

The poem is asking a good question but i beleive people cry for the dead because they will miss such person's impact in their life and all those precious moments that make life beautiful that the person wld miss so i guess "pity party" as a title doesnt do the poem any justice. Maybe something like "Mourning Peace" that sounds weird but just suggesting. lol.
Hmm, thanks janet, your suggestion sounds apt, you know.
